Mallory Park Fishery

Mallory Park Fisheries needs a little untangling before you load the car. The club operates waters near Kirkby Mallory and at The Glebe in Peckleton, so those names don’t all mean the same entrance. Four fishing lakes are described around the race circuit, while The Glebe is a separate site.

Mallory Park Fisheries needs a little untangling before you load the car. The club operates waters near Kirkby Mallory and at The Glebe in Peckleton, so those names don’t all mean the same entrance. Four fishing lakes are described around the race circuit, while The Glebe is a separate site. For anyone after carp and mixed coarse fishing, there’s plenty to look into here — just make sure you’ve got the right water in mind before sorting your day on the bank.

The big thing is access. This is described as a members-only club, not somewhere you simply turn up, hand over a few quid and pick a peg. Members have been able to buy guest day tickets, but the current arrangements need confirming. Membership fees, guest prices and rod allowances also need a call rather than a guess. The published enquiry number is the fishery. Get those bits squared away first and save yourself a proper faff at the wrong gate.

On the fish front, the listed species are carp, bream, roach, rudd, perch and gudgeon. That gives the venue a mixed-coarse identity rather than making it all about chasing one big lump. There aren’t verified individual-lake stock details or fish weights to hang a PB promise on, though. Think of this as a club to investigate for carp and silverfish options, then ask which waters fit your fishing. The species list shouldn’t be taken to mean every lake holds the same mix.

The Glebe covers 36 acres, but that’s the whole site — definitely not the size of one lake. Published descriptions disagree over whether it has eight fishing lakes or nine, and the wildlife ponds are separate from the fishing waters. Most Glebe lakes are described as single-bank fishing. Level pegs suitable for anglers with mobility difficulties are also described, which is a useful starting point. If access matters to your day, ask about the particular peg and route rather than assuming every swim will suit.

Tackle and bait need a proper check before packing. The published rules rule out Method fishing, braided line and surface or subsurface floating baits. Hooks must be genuinely barbless, not crimped, and no larger than regular size 10. Only coarse pellets are permitted; trout pellets aren’t. Bread has a November–March window, a 12mm hookbait limit and no surface use. So don’t build the whole session around your usual Method setup or a cheeky floater approach — neither fits these rules.

The published season runs from 1 June to 31 March, with dawn-to-dusk fishing and no nights. Confirm current hours when arranging access. One last navigation wrinkle: the Mallory Park map pin isn’t The Glebe entrance, while LE9 7RF is the published postcode for the Peckleton Common Road address. Get the destination, membership or guest access, and current rules bob on beforehand. That leaves you thinking about the fishing rather than trying to untangle the basics when you arrive.

We're not sure on ticket prices here — we couldn't find reliable, up-to-date prices online, so give the fishery a ring or check their own site before you go.

Good background reading. Most of it is a few years old, so treat it as a starting point and ask on the day.
